I have been tasked to research methods for creating powerpoint-style presentations, but using Flash for better transitions, effects, etc. This also needs to be data-driven so that information can be easily swapped out for different presentations - maybe fed by an XML file? Any suggestions on where to start looking? Can Flash handle something like this, even outputting the swf of the final presentation? ---

this thread is dated 6/16/2009 but also says 4 days ago. I think I have seen that here a few times. Is a random old thread being listed as new? or was this actually a new thread with the incorrect date? I was going to recommend looking at [https://feathersui.com/examples/](https://feathersui.com/examples/) when i noticed it was old. haha maybe this guys been waiting for an answer since 2009 and is like, ahh finally! ---

Someone posted spam which bumped the thread up. Then the spam got deleted but the thread remains bumped. According to other, smarter people, it’s a problem with Discourse.
